Which is mostly more or less distinct, coriaceous clothed with 
white or slightly tawny short woolly hairs. _Hymenium bor-

E A pretty species allied to H. ochraceum.

On a dead trunk. Ohio. June. T. G. Lea, Esq. No. 279. 
Pilei resupinate with a narrow lobed border spreading for 
three or four inches over the matrix, consisting of repeatedly 
branched rigid brown processes resembling some Cornicularia, 
Which are clothed above with grey or ferruginous tow-like 
fibres. Aculei rather long rigid sharply acuminate brown 
Varying to cinereous, at ndi stratose. 
This is one of the most ssdinble species with which I 
am acquainted. It resembles in many respects Hydnum 
parasiticum, but has not like that a coriaceous pileus, The 
Whole substance indeed consists merely of rigid branched 
processes which are partially covered above with coarse 
pubescence, so that the pileus might perhaps be described as 
repeatedly branched. These processes are, however, com- 
 bined into a lobed stratum. I do not know any other 
Species with which it;can be compared, except perhaps as 
Dr, Montagne suggests his Hydnum pteruloides, but that 
he is now inclined to consider as merely a state of Trametes 
Hydnoides, whereas the present is undoubtedly a perfect 
Less
